The Verdict Unanimous.

W. d. Suit, Druggist, Bippus, Ind, tes-
tifes: az can recommend Electric Bitters
as the very best remedy. Every bottle
sold has given relief in every case. One
man took six bottles, and was cured OF
Rheumatism of 10 years standing"
Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellville. Ohio,
affirms; "The best selling medicine nave
ever handled in my 20 years experience,
is Electric Bitters," Thousands of others
have added their testimony, so that the
verdict unanimous that Electric Bitters do
cure all diseases of the Liver, Kidneys or
Blood. Only half a dollar bottle at q.

Give Them A Chance.

That is to say, your lungs. Also all
derful machinery it is. Not only the
larger air-passages, but the thousands of
little tubes and cavities leading from them;
When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be there,
your lungs cannot half do their work.
And what they do, they cannot do well.
Call 1t cold, cough, Group, pneumonia,
catarrh, consumption or any of the family
of throat and nose aud head and lung OBJ
structions, all are bad. All ought TO be
got rid of. There is just one sure way "a
get rid of them. That is to take Boschee' s
German Syrup, which any druggist will
sell you at rs cents a bottle, Even 4
everything else has failed you, you may
depend upon this for certain.
